Hey guys, I'm in a very scary situation and any piece of help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

6 months ago, my family (wife, two daughters) and I move back to Los Angeles. The kids wanted to be in LA, and I wanted to be with my mother who was in the terminal stages of lung cancer (She passed away on December 23rd). Wife is 45, kids are 21 and 25, just to clarify. Things were beginning to get two sided well before the move to LA, but we coped with it.

We purchased an apartment about 10 minutes from my parent's house. I would spend half the week there, and half the week with my parents, as my mother was unable to care for herself (bathroom/basic hygene, etc).

During these six months, things became very hostile with my family. My wife and kids would constantly accuse me of abandoning them and choosing my mother over them. This couldn't be further from the truth, as I hired a live-in nurse(whom I could barely afford) to care for my mother, so I could spend half the week with my family.

They kicked me out of my own apartment at the end of November. Communication broke down a few days after my mother died. They treated her death as a roadblock, not visiting her once during the 6 months we have been here. And after her death, my wife and kids did not attend the funeral, and told me via text to fire the live-in nurse to stop "Wasting her money."

I did not marry THAT woman. I don't know what has happened. I do not like to speak ill of anyone, but it seems as if she has "snapped." She's become violent, irrational, and plain evil.

So now, I'm in a very weird position. We bought the apartment under all our names (Me, my wife, and my two daughters). I've been shopping around for a house, but I need to sell the apartment to finance the down payment. But my family is refusing to let me sell, for the sole reason of spiting me. They've threatened to max my credit cards, destroy my credit score, call the police for abuse (I've never hurt anyone in my life), and various other vile claims.

I have no idea what to do, no one to talk to about this, and quite honestly, I'm scared.

Thank you for reading

Edit: And I apologize if this is the wrong sub-reddit. Please let me know if there's a more appropriate place I should be asking this.
